Abstract
Autostereoscopic displays show stereo 3D without the need for spectacles. The simplest show the same pair of views as a stereoscopic display and make them visible each to one eye with lenslets, barriers, or something similar. The more advanced displays are such that what the user sees depends on their point of view and this is done by presenting many views, tracking the head of the viewer, or both. If the angle between views is sufficiently fine, autostereoscopic displays look like holograms except for the slight blurring caused by random phase between pixels. This chapter presents an overview of established and emerging autostereoscopic systems.
